The countdown has begun! Less than 2 weeks to go before I leave for the Camino de Madrid and I'm  busy making lists, checking the route, packing, and trying out new gear(!). The training has slowed down a bit but then I don't want to be burned out on hiking before I start on a 675km walk, do I?  I'll be home (the original one) tackling some of Vancouver's hills just before I fly out so that should stand me in good stead.  

I'm hoping this test text from my iPhone works correctly so that my travel blog might be up and running before I go!
